Blood Holy Scripture: True Ancestor Charlotte de Castel

Charlotte finally knew what she had done wrong.

She was indeed wrong.

"The Primordial Will" was right; from the moment she started using the extraordinary power of this world, she was wrong.

From the beginning, she had directed the primordial power towards herself.

She had been marked from the start.

From the very beginning, everything was predestined; as her power grew, the primordial could awaken more from her.

But this was an almost unsolvable problem.

Without mastering the extraordinary, how could she fight the primordial?

Charlotte remained silent.

Golden-red divine power erupted from her body, and a vast and ancient aura slowly rose within her.

In an instant, all the beings in the square, whether living or dead, stood up.

The same eerie smile appeared uniformly on their faces, their whites of the eyes gradually fading, turning their eyes pitch black, while two black-red bloodstains slowly dripped from the corners of their eyes, rapidly spreading into strange black patterns.

"Eternal Night, you have failed."

The same voice came from their throats, smiling eerily as they stepped toward Charlotte.

Charlotte struggled to lift her head, looking at the puppets approaching her.

She gritted her teeth and summoned the Roman Sword, then swung it to cut down the puppets rushing towards her.

Crimson light burst forth, and the puppet in the front was instantly slashed into pieces by the girl.

But from afar, more puppets emerged from all directions, continuing to smile eerily as they approached Charlotte.

The shattered corpses piled on the ground, and the dark red blood grew ever thicker.

This blood seemed to carry an eerie power.

It gathered into streams, gradually growing into a blood pool, immersing Charlotte within.

Charlotte only felt her body growing heavier.

The dark red blood water gradually enveloped her, and the black patterns began to crawl up her body.

Meanwhile, Charlotte felt the primordial will within her surging back to life.

"What the hell! Master, what are these things?!"

An exclamation came from the Roman Sword.

But the next moment, the Wisdom Divine Artifact was also tainted by the black patterns, and the bright divine light quickly dimmed.

Yet Charlotte could not stop; the puppets carried the same terrifying pollution power, and if they weren't destroyed, the primordial's awakening would only hasten.

More and more puppets fell, forming a massive mound of corpses beneath Charlotte, and the dark red blood almost turned into a sea.

The sun in the sky vanished.

Replaced by a gigantic eye, which also seemed to carry an eerie smile, indifferently overlooking everything like a supreme deity.

Golden divine light radiated, shining upon the world like the sun, spreading an aura that made even deities tremble.

Both divine and malevolent.

Golden-red brilliance spread across the earth, extending a pale haze, where it reached... trees withered, rivers dried up, and all vitality in the world began to be stripped away...

Seeing this familiar scene, Charlotte's expression became somewhat dazed.

Fragments of broken memories surfaced in her mind, and Charlotte suddenly recalled that this was not the first time she faced such a scene.

The resurgence of the primordial, the seizing of power... she had experienced this at least in the previous two "cycles".

Of course, the primordial will back then was far from as strong as it was now, and Charlotte herself hadn't been thoroughly tainted from the root back then.

Therefore, at that time, she could still activate the Blood Holy Scripture, using its last authority to "reset" everything.

But this time was different.

Charlotte could feel that around her, she had long been completely sealed off by the primordial power.

Obviously, the primordial had already learned of her ability to cross history.

As she reset history repeatedly, the primordial also kept getting closer to her.

And now, it had finally caught up completely.

Her ability to cross history... was frozen.

Even if it wasn't frozen, she, tainted from the root, would be caught directly while resetting history.

Charlotte's consciousness began to blur.

She vaguely seemed to see again the "future" fragment she had seen in Coria Kingdom.

Everything in the "future" seemed to have been fulfilled.

The eye in the sky, the mound of corpses on the ground.

And... standing on that mound, she was being rapidly tainted and assimilated.

Even the Roman Sword in her hand had become as in that "future" scene, already broken under the unbearable weight of pollution.

Except for not having plunged the broken sword into her own chest to end herself, all disasters had occurred.

Everything, it seemed, had reached a dead end.

However, at this moment, Charlotte instead calmed down.

This cycle, she seemed to have truly reached a dead end.

But this cycle, she also reached the Creation Level, even if she was not fully familiar with such power.

No...

Not just her.

There was also that book within her.

The supreme divine artifact of the Bloodline.

In her perception, the Blood Holy Scripture was shining with unprecedented radiance, contending with the primordial power.

Unlike her, the Blood Holy Scripture, even if the primordial awakened within her, was not corroded and tainted like the other divine artifacts.

No.

Not just the Blood Holy Scripture.

Charlotte held another untainted divine artifact in her hand—the Moon Dream Heart.

Charlotte recalled a certain speculation she had before.

No...

Perhaps, she is still on the "predetermined" "correct" path.

"Guardian's Staff, if you don't hurry and take the next step, I'm really going to be 'possessed' this time."

With a vague suspicion in her heart, Charlotte, relying on her mental connection with the Guardian's Staff, forcibly suppressed her increasingly uncontrollable divine soul and coldly probed in her mind.

No sooner had she spoken than a golden radiance appeared beside her, and the figure of the Guardian's Staff emerged.

It looked at Charlotte, who was being engulfed by the primordial, with a somewhat complicated expression.

Likewise, it was not contaminated by the primordial power.

"Your Majesty True Ancestor, it seems... we've failed again this time."

The Guardian's Staff sighed.

But Charlotte didn't hear disappointment in its tone.

Moreover, Charlotte noticed that the primordial power didn't seem to detect its presence.

The grotesque smiling faces still locked onto her, showing no sign of shifting attention due to the Guardian's Staff's appearance, almost as if they hadn't heard the Guardian's Staff's sigh.

That feeling... was as if the Guardian's Staff and the primordial were not in the same dimension!

The pollution on Charlotte grew deeper, and she saw eyes sprouting on her body, with black sockets identical to those of a puppet, and only the scarlet bizarre eyeballs kept twitching.

However, at the same time, the light of the Blood Holy Scripture within her shone brighter and brighter.

"No more riddles, whatever backup plan you have, start it quickly."

Charlotte said.

But the Guardian's Staff shook its head:

"No, Your Majesty True Ancestor."

"It's not that I have any backup plan, but you need to think, what... backup plan do you have?"

"Me?"

Charlotte was stunned.

Her mind grew more sluggish.

The contamination on her body intensified, and the glow of the Blood Holy Scripture grew ever brighter.

However, just when Charlotte thought she was about to sink, she seemed to have reached a certain boundary.

Suddenly, the Blood Holy Scripture lit up, and a powerful suction came from the scripture, and Charlotte's gradually chaotic consciousness suddenly cleared up again.

This feeling was very peculiar.

She could feel that the primordial had nearly taken over her body, but her perspective seemed to transcend herself, beginning to converge towards the Blood Holy Scripture.

In that instant, Charlotte realized—

The Blood Holy Scripture was severing her divine soul from her body, turning her into an "Artifact Soul"!

With the crimson divine power linking to her soul, even the pollution within the origin of Charlotte's soul began to be worn away by the Blood Holy Scripture!

"Your Majesty True Ancestor."

The Guardian's Staff suddenly spoke:

"The predetermined history cannot be changed, the end of fate will eventually come..."

"So, what do you think, how should we rewrite everything?"

How... to rewrite everything...

Charlotte was slightly stunned.

The Blood Holy Scripture glowed faintly.

One mysterious script after another lit up on it, and Charlotte's ability to control it suddenly began to soar.

It was a very peculiar feeling.

If previously it was just an accompanying divine artifact for Charlotte, now it seemed as if it was becoming Charlotte's body and limbs.

In her daze, Charlotte felt like she once again possessed the ability to reset time and space.

And unlike before, this time... her power seemed stronger.

Charlotte knew the reason. The moment she reached Creation Rank, the Blood Holy Scripture also advanced, and its crossing ability naturally elevated.

That wasn't just an ordinary enhancement.

It signified that the Blood Holy Scripture had also become a Creation Level Divine Artifact!

Moreover, because all the power must be absorbed by Charlotte before entering this divine artifact, it was not contaminated; instead, because it reached the level of creation, it truly had the potential to counteract the primordial pollution.

And on this basis, Charlotte suddenly sensed that she could not only once again exhibit the power to cross timelines, but also extend the crossing even further back!

All the previous doubts suddenly connected before and after, and she vaguely grasped something:

"So that's how it is, that's what it was..."

"What you were waiting for was not for me to step into creation, but for the scripture... to reach supreme!"

The Guardian's Staff smiled:

"Seems like, you've realized it."

Charlotte suddenly raised her head, looking at the Guardian's Staff beside her, with its platinum divine power still as pure as ever, and said in realization:

"Actually, you... are not Haral's divine artifact, are you?"

"Of course, esteemed Your Majesty, from the moment I was forged, the object of my loyalty... has been one person only."

The Guardian's Staff appeared solemn, bowing respectfully to Charlotte.

It seemed to be saluting the girl.

Yet it also seemed not to be entirely saluting the girl.

Charlotte fell into silence.

"I know what you want to do, and I know what you want me to do."

"But there's still one question, crossing such distant epochs... requires an anchor point."

"The anchor point, have you prepared that too?"

She looked at the Guardian's Staff.

This time, the Guardian's Staff, however, bowed slightly in another direction:

"This task... is up to you."

"Your Majesty Lilith..."
